Yes, but using overloading to implement defaults is a pain. Imagine how
much you need to overload to have 5 default arguments; that equates to 4
stub functions/prodecudes. In the case of adding a single parameter it's
not that bad, but it becomes very onerous if you're trying to provide
default values for a bunch of parameters.
